Take a peek into any office, and you'll see that 19- and 20-inch LCDs are becoming a standard part of the desk setup. They offer plenty of screen real estate and adjustability, and with prices plummeting, there's no reason not to have one.
Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP
The Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP, a 20-inch wide-screen LCD, serves up a winning combination of features, image quality, and adjustability--all for a very reasonable price.

HP W2007
It's a little shy on features, and we wouldn't recommend the HP w2007 for HD movie watching. Then again, we wouldn't suggest you use any 20-inch LCD for that purpose. What we did like was the overall image quality of this display, which we found outstanding, and it's ultimately what saves the monitor.
Price: $199.95 - $300.85 (check prices)

Asus PW201
The entertainment-oriented Asus PW201 offers superior image quality and an impressive collection of video connections, but it costs more than competing 20-inch wide-screen LCDs and includes a Webcam that suffers from buggy software.
Price: $279.99 - $499.99 (check prices)

Dell UltraSharp 1907FP
With good performance, a stylish design, and all the flexibility we could ask for in a monitor, the Dell UltraSharp 1907FP is one of the few entries in the budget display category that we highly recommend.
Price: $295.00 - $295.00 (check prices)

Acer p191w
We wouldn't pay more than $200 or so for any 19-inch LCD, but if you need a smaller screen and can find Acer's p191w for that price, we'd recommend it. It's a basic display with no speakers or HDCP-support, but its image quality and sleek design make up for any lacking secondary features.
Price: $179.99 - $189.99 (check prices)
